Overview

Dubey works closely with Mishra in investigating humoral immune responses against viral pathogens to understand their implications in chronic infections. He is working on phage display development with Mishra to more accurately gauge the presence of antibodies against microbial pathogens in humans, animals, and wildlife. Combined with Dubey's experience with peptide microarrays, these innovative technologies cover a spectrum of both viruses and bacteria, which will potentially enhance the current studies on zoonotic diseases and reverse zoonoses.
